If this is a persistent problem, you can sand or plane the door to take enough material off the door so that it will close. Caution should be used when doing this. Later, in the winter, the door will shrink and may result in a gap if too much wood is removed.
Are you sure the door is swelling? This is only going to be true if it is an all wood door and it is not sealed very well. Check the margins first before you start sanding or planning a door. contact us for Sanding and Planning a Door for instructions on sanding or planning a wood door.

Wooden Door Repairs
Wooden doors are traditional, beautiful and incredibly popular. However, because they’re made from nature, they’re also susceptible to nature’s elements.
Whether you have problems with your front, internal, laundry, back, bi-fold or french doors, we’re the wooden door repair specialists and can help.
Common problems with wooden doors:
Door is getting stuck within the door frame
Wooden doors are porous so they respond to the changes in temperature and humidity. They can warp, bow, rot, swell (expand) and shrink with the changing seasons or surrounding elements.
The ‘settling’ of a house into its foundations can also create issues with wooden doors not fitting within their frames, becoming too tight or too loose. These problems can often be fixed with a re-fit or re-hang of the door within the frame, or by addressing the surrounding elements such as sealant or paint.
Door handle or lock is no longer working
